The National Monuments Service's description
Located in a large arable field c. 290m S of an unnamed meandering stream. The enclosure can be seen on Google Earth coverage (24 June 2018) where it is visible as a positive cropmark. The enclosure is circular in plan (ext. diam. c. 23.6m) surrounded by a ditch (Wth c. 2.3m). There is evidence for an entrance gap (Wth c. 1.7m) through the ditch on the S of the enclosure.
